We-Tried-It Friday: Eco-Friendly Nonstick Pans

Most Read

We're always looking for earth-friendlier kitchen alternatives that are easy and affordable to incorporate into our regular (read: busy) lives. And if those alternatives are healthier for us as well as the planet, well, even better.

Both pans performed well — just as well as our traditional nonstick. We'd definitely buy either pan again, but preference goes to the Bialetti Aeternum.

The biggest complaint is that after extended use, the coatings on both pans start to flake.]
